CHASING BUTTERFLIES JOURNALS
was revealed. We do not have to strive to be someone we are not, but we can rest in the truth that we are enough just as we are. Our identity is secure in Christ, and nothing can shake the foundation of who we are in Him. Several years ago, I heard a pastor spend her entire message on who her God is. In that moment, God gripped my heart, and I finally started to understand the basis of my true identity—my identity is based solely on Him! It doesn’t matter what the world says about you or even what family or friends say about you. The enemy will always try to convince you that you are worthless and not liked. The enemy wants you to stay in an identity crisis. As long as you are in crisis, he knows he has an open door to your mind and your life and will work to keep you away from God and your eternal home. Knowing your true identity is a weapon that helps you stay rooted and on track for the life you were meant to have. Will you say this next part together with me? Repeat it daily until you know it by heart. BELIEVE IT! Because when we know who God is, we know who we are. We are His beautiful children, created in His image to shine His light into a dark world.
PSALM 139:14 (NIV)
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
